Sec. 2. (a) An unemployed individual is eligible to receive
benefits with respect to any week only if the individual has:
(1) registered for work at an employment office or branch

the time limits that the board by rule adopts; and
(2) subsequently reported with the frequency and in the manner,
either in person or in writing, that the board by rule adopts.

commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representative upon
a showing of good cause therefor. The board shall by rule waive or
alter the requirements of this section as to such types of cases or
situations with respect to which the commissioner finds that
compliance with such requirements would be oppressive or would be
inconsistent with the purposes of this article.

individual who remains unemployed for at least four (4) weeks. The
manner and duration of the counseling shall be determined by the
board.
